My Disney Blog for Kids
In April, I stayed at Loews Portofino Bay in Universal Studios and I stayed in the Minion Suite!
First lets talk about the door to get in to the room! It looks just like it does in the movies. It reads Authorized Minions Only. It also has a red wheel.
While the wallpaper is blue, minions do decorate the room and the back wall’s wallpaper is minions.
It even has a TV!
I really enjoyed my stay at the Minion Suite and I hope I get to stay there again someday!
Hollywood Studios is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Below is the list of the treats available starting May 1.
First let’s start with cakes. The Minnie Mouse’s Celebration Cake will be found at Backlot Express. It will be a yellow cake with strawberry cream, along with strawberry marshmallows and topped with strawberry pearls. That’s a lot of strawberry! Mickey Mouse’s Celebration Cake will also be found at Backlot Express. It will have chocolate sponge cake with chocolate cream topped with vanilla marshmallows and passion fruit pearls.
At Market at Pixar Place and BaseLine Tap House they will be selling… wait… Incredibles Macarons!?! Oh yeah! It will have the Incredibles theme colors of red and black and almond macarons with a mango passion filling.
Now this is what I’m most excited for: Lightsaber Churros!! These Lightsaber Churros are red or blue. You will find these delicious churros at Market at Pixar Place, Pretzel Palooza, Anaheim Produce and the churro carts all over Hollywood Studios. The Kylo Ren Cupcake will be a peanut butter and chocolate cupcake. This dark side cupcake will be at Dockside Diner and Rosie’s All-American Cafe`.
The Sorcerer’s Hat will be a lemon sponge cake topped with vanilla buttercream along with lemon curd and white chocolate glaze. This treat will be found at the ABC Commissary and the Fantasmic! Food Carts.
The Playful Luxo Ball is a mango mousse with caramel chocolate, banana sponge cake and a rice croquant. The Playful Luxo Ball will be found at BaseLine Tap House and The Trolley Car Cafe`.
There are a lot of Verrines coming to Hollywood Studios. First there is the Raspberry Mousse Verrine. It is obviously raspberry mousse, but with more raspberries and white chocolate. This raspberry delight will be found at the ABC Commissary. The Lemon Blueberry Cheesecare Verrine will be found at Catalina Eddie’s. It will be a lemon cheesecake with blueberries and white chocolate pearls with more white chocolate.

There are a lot of new events happening at Magic Kingdom. In this article, I will tell you about all the new events.
A Woody’s Roundup event will happen on July4-6, 2019, for the Fourth of July in The Contemporary Resort. It will have music, characters, games a barbecue buffet and fireworks.
Disney After Hours has dates now during the summer and it has a Villains theme. What is Disney After Hours? It is a private event at Magic Kingdom that allows guests to stay in the park really late but with smaller crowds.
Haunted Mansion has an on-ride photo now! Anyone riding while wearing their MagicBand will get a Haunted Mansion themed photo. For more information click here!
I think this news is very exciting!
Every year Disney World changes something about their parks. Here is a list of some of the changes happening to Epcot.
Now let’s talk about the pavilions. Over in the France Pavilion, Disney is building Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, but it won’t be open until the spring of 2020. This ride is actually open in Disneyland Paris already. Also in the France Pavilion there is going to be a Beauty and the Beast Sing-a-long. It will alternate with Impressions de France, the show that is currently in the France Pavilion. In Canada, the show “O’ Canada” is going to be getting a makeover. In the Japan Pavilion, Disney is opening another table service restaurant.
First of all, the Disney Skyliner will open in the Fall of 2019. It will be a transportation network high in the sky that will take you from Pop Century, Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach and the upcoming Disney Riviera resort to the International Gateway at Epcot and Hollywood Studios. I’m excited! Illuminations unfortunately is being replaced by Epcot Forever, a new night time show that will be playing 80’s music.
Calling all Mission Space fans! A space themed restaurant is opening near Mission Space in 2020.
I am really excited about these updates and am looking forward to seeing the rides, restaurants, skyliners and Epcot Forever this year and 2020!
Last year was a great year at Disney World but 2019 is going to be even better. Here are some things that I am looking forward to at Hollywood Studios in 2019.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be opening in the fall of 2019, though there are some rumors that it might be opening in the summer (now there is a rumor that this will not be ready until 2020!). The ride will be in the same location that used to have The Great Movie Ride. The ride will have a new technology called 2 and a half D, that is supposed to be like 3D but without the glasses, and you will be riding in an animated scene. Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy will also be opening. It will open near Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and will be a show starring your favorite Cars characters in a big race. Wonderful World of Animations will open in the May of 2019 and will be a night show that is for Hollywood Studios 30th Anniversary.
And of course, the biggest new thing at Hollywood Studios will be Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. For more information on this new land, check out our prior blogs here and here.
We have some Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge updates for you!!
First off, you will be able to hear Yoda in Black Spire Outpost! The Play Disney Parks app will become a Star Wars datapad while you are in Batuu. (For more information on the Play Disney Parks app, click here!) The four key functions will be a Hacking Tool (helps interact with droids), a Translating Device to help translate Aurebesh (the written language in Star Wars), a Tuning Tool so you can eavesdrop on satellite transmissions, and a Scanning Device. The Outpost Control game will show your loyalty to either the Resistance or the First Order.
Do you know the story of how RX-24 became the DJ at Oga’s Cantina? I’ll tell you! RX-24 first flunked out of Star Tours, (for a Star Tours review click here!) then he found his way to the Battle of Jakku. He crashed on Batuu from a TIE Fighter chase and became the DJ at Oga’s Cantina.
Don’t forget that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens August 29 in Hollywood Studios!
Now Haunted Mansion has an on-ride photo. (For a Haunted Mansion Review click here!)
An on-ride photo means that when you ride Haunted Mansion, while wearing your MagicBand, a camera will take a photo of you and afterwards you will see a Haunted Mansion themed photo of you on the ride. You MUST have your MagicBand on you because the photo is sent to your parents’ Disney World app. Here is the best part: the picture comes home with you! This works with the magic of Memory Maker.
First we spotted those too good to be true Limited Edition Mickey Mouse Goldfish. Well, we now recently spotted Special Edition Mickey Mouse Waffles!
These aren’t your typical waffles!
These waffles have a picture of Mickey Mouse on them. Kind of like the ones at Disney World.
Hopefully we will be able to find more Disney food!
Bo Peep is coming back in Toy Story 4.
Starting this summer, Bo Peep will do meet and greets with you in Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios and Pixar Pier in California Adventure. She’s even going to Disneyland Paris and the Disney Parks in Asia!
How exciting!
Toy Story 4 comes out on June 21, 2019. I do not know much about the movie, but I do know that Bo Peep has changed A LOT!!!
Do you have any younger siblings in strollers? If so, then you may want to pay attention to this blog article.
Disney announced they are banning oversized strollers. They have to be no larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long. Stroller wagons are also banned. This new rule is also for Disney water parks and the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex in Florida.
This rule will begin on May 1, 2019.
